What is the cheapest way to enclose a patio for winter?

• <div><p>Creating a screen room is one of the most cost-effective ways to enclose a patio so you can still use it in the winter.

Q: Does a sunroom on a deck need a foundation?

• <div><p>Yes, the weight of a sunroom will put a lot of pressure on the deck below, so ensuring solid footings beneath the deck posts is critical before building. Sometimes, basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on top of a deck with strong existing foundations, and you can get away without adding additional supports. In many cases, though, the foundation will need reinforcement to support the extra weight.</p></div>

We had him do a huge concrete patio. He did a great job and we love it! Now, we are looking at having him extend our driveway. He is a very nice person, a hard worker, and cares about you & your project(s). I would recommend him!

Sunrooms and Patios questions, answered by experts

Several types of porches are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:

Porticos are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance.
Sunrooms are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight.
Wraparound porches extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.
Back porches are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.

Yes, the weight of a sunroom will put a lot of pressure on the deck below, so ensuring solid footings beneath the deck posts is critical before building. Sometimes, basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on top of a deck with strong existing foundations, and you can get away without adding additional supports. In many cases, though, the foundation will need reinforcement to support the extra weight.
